"Every single day they massacre and oppress people. That’s the reason why we need to destroy ISIS.

"That’s something which involves the whole international community. I’ve asked for the UN security council to get together as soon as possible in order to mark a resolution for the joint will to fight terrorism."

And now the French president says he wants to step up the attacks on ISIS. Jihadis who attacked the Bataclan were heard shouting "this is for Syria".

Mr Hollande said: “We will pursue these attacks throughout the coming weeks.

“On Thursday, aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle will go to the Eastern Mediterranean, and that will treble our capacity for action.

“There will be no pity and no fear.

“The ones who organised the Paris attacks must realise their crimes, rather than making France fear responding, reinforces our determination to destroy them."

Seven of the attackers who killed 129 people between them have all been killed, but a number of suspects - including Salah Abdeslam, 26, are still at large.

The French president told his country’s politicians that ISIS threatened not just France but the whole of world.

He said: “Terrorism is something we’re fighting everywhere.

“We’re fighting it in Mali, in Ira and in Syria. We’re looking for a political solution where Bashar al-Assad cannot represent an end, but our enemy in Syria is Daesh.

“It’s not a question of containing it. We have to destroy it to save people in Syria, Iraq and those of Lebanon Jordan, Turkey, all the neighbouring countries.

“We must protect ourselves in order to avoid them coming into our territory, as was the case on Friday. Foreign fighters carried out terrorist attacks.

“Syria’s become the most important factory of terrorists. The international community is divided, a lack of coherence. France has asked for there to be unity if necessary in order to act.

"We’re bringing it to them."

The whole world has paid tribute to the victims of the Paris attacks

"There has to be a gathering of everyone who can fight this terrorist army within the framework of a major and single coalition. We’re working towards that.

"I will be meeting President Obama and President Putin to unify forces and to get a result that for the moment is still delayed.

“The minister of defence will contact his European counterparts in Nato, and will meeting the treaty which says when a state is attacked, all Nato members must give them solidarity faced with the attack.

“The enemy isn’t just France’s enemy, it’s the enemy of Europe.”

And Mr Hollande said ISIS’ role in the ongoing refugee crisis threatened the entire continent.

He said: “It’s vital to accept people looking for asylum - but to send the people who aren’t genuine back to their country.

“We have to protect the EU’s borders. France and Germany are making sure countries faced with migratory foes can be helped.

“If Europe doesn’t control the external borders, then -and it’s something we can see today, in front of our very eyes - there will be return to national borders and walls and barbed wire. It’ll be the deconstruction of the European Union."

129 people died on Friday's terror attack

Mr Hollande continued: "Faced with acts of war committed on our territory, after the attacks in January, and so many other crimes in the past few years in the name of this jihadist ideology, we must have no pity.

“They’re French people who, on Friday, killed other French people. In our country there are people who go from delinquency to radicalisation to terrorism.

“Sometimes they went to fight in Syria and Iraq, sometimes they create networks that rain themselves or help one another in order to be able to at one point or another ensure they can can carry out terrorist acts. We’ve seen that. Over the the past few moths we’ve broken up a number of terrorist cells.

“We have to defend ourselves. We have to protect our citizens and we have to protect our capacity to live together.”

Mr Hollande, who said the ongoing State of Emergency would last another three months, said that he wanted to address congress as part of a response to the attacks on Friday night's attacks.

He said: "We want to respond with cold determination that's appropriate to this appalling attack.

"Our democracy has triumphed over far worse adversaries than these cowardly assassins."
